Retexturise your skin with Direct Needle Therapy

Retexturise your skin with Direct Needle Therapy

If addressing your scarring, large pores, and fine lines is a resolution this Winter, then starting out with some Direct Needle Therapy is a great way to go. Responsible for firming and tightening the skin, as well as evening out texture and tone, this particular therapy is a sure way to take control over any parts of your skin that feel less than beautiful.

What effects does it have?
Not only great for fine lines and wrinkles, Ultra Skin Needling treatment can also support the healing of acne scars and improve the appearance of stretch marks and surgical scars.

How does Skin Needling work?
Ultra fine, medical grade stainless steel needles are passed vertically across the skin creating multiple surface skin channels. Each of the thousands of tiny puncture wounds induces the release of growth factors that begin the process of wound healing. These factors stimulate new collagen and elastin growth in the surrounding skin which, once initiated, can continue for up to 12 months.

Why should I try Ultra Medical Skin Needling?
Skin needling is the ultimate form of skin rejuvenation, and has less downtime compared to some laser treatments. The needling system is delicate enough that it can even treat those sensitive spots like under the eyelids, meaning no contours of the face miss out. The Dermapen also offers adjustable needle length and speed allowing your highly trained technician to develop a specialised program to suit you specifically.

How soon can I expect results?
This depends on what you are treating and how often you perform treatments. Most patients will see progress within a few days and the process of skin improvement can continue for months after treatments.
